A uniform center tread/belt assembly ensures a smooth and speedy ride on the road. Flexible shoulder lugs and fine sipes guarantee grip in curves and on loose surfaces. The overall tyre construction rounds off the overall high quality. The ultra fine carcass fabric reduces the rolling resistance while providing a noticeably more comfortable ride.

SafetySystem Breaker

The SafetySystem Breaker is made up of Kevlar reinforced, high-strength nylon fabric. Puncture and cut-resistant but nevertheless light and flexible, the tyre adjusts quickly to the surface below. Without raising the weight or rolling resistance noticeably, it protects the carcass against foreign objects and contributes to a longer lifespan of the tyre. Tyres with the SafetySystem Breaker also provide good comfort properties.

Please Note: This tyre does not have a reflective side-wall as shown in image.

About City Tyres

These tyres are designed to meet the rigours of city/trail riding and will fit Hybrid styled bikes, they are wider than a road race tyre to offer a larger contact area with the road and will provide more comfort. Wider tyres are less prone to punctures and will provide more grip. Within this range we offer semi slick or knobbly tyres, the semi slick tyres will be ideal for road use and the knobbly style will provide more grip for light trail use or loose surfaces such as gravel.

About the Continental brand

More than 100 years experience in the development and production of bicycle tyres has made Continental a unique company within the industry. Continental is the only German bicycle tyre manufacturer to produce its tyres in Germany. Knowing this serves as a mighty incentive to our engineers and everyone else involved in the manufacturing process to constantly strive for further innovations. In our technology and development center in Korbach, we are constantly developing new revolutionary technologies such as the unbeatable Black Chili Compound and the ultimate Vectran™ Breaker anti-puncture technology, both used at the top end of race sport. These technologies demand sophisticated processes to ensure our legendary end-product quality, and these innovations as well as the new “ProTection” and ”RaceSport” technology for MTB tyres, can only be manufactured in our factory in Germany – “Handmade in Germany”. In order to offer the best tyre for any application, we rely equally on dialogue with our professional racers, hobby cyclists and everyday bike riders.
This results not only in high-end products for top sports applications such as the new Podium TT or the revolutionary downhill tyre “Der Kaiser”, but also tyres for everyday use like the new innovative combination EcoContact/EcoContact Plus as a companion to the latest e-bike trend. As a global player, Continental also maintains high-tech production facilities outside of Germany, where Continental tyres are produced for you with an equal degree of care and dedication. One thing all Continental bicycle tyres have in common is that they are developed in the technology center in Korbach, Germany, where they also undergo strict inspection. Our heart and soul is behind the phrase “Handmade in Germany”, with all of its products and technologies.

High quality tyre
Excellent tyre, easy to change and very hard wearing. Tyre lasted me almost 3 years commuting on it every day.
09 September 2016

spot on for commuting on a daily basis, good grip, not much rolling resistance and above all, pretty much puncture proof - 3 months and counting (probably the kiss of death)

Picture was misleading
I ordered this in a hurray and was extremely disappointed to find that it did not look like the picture representing it. It did not have the white reflective stripe shown in the picture at the point of order.

Excellent grip!
Replaced the standard semi-slick 25mm tyres that came with my bike with these in 28mm. They're everything I was looking for, excelled grip for an excellent price

Answer:

I have put them on my crossfire 2 they fit fine and are a really nice tyre, pretty puncher proof and that's the reason I got them, as I go over roads and light trails, they have been really good and better than the originals. But I don't go anywhere that is really muddy and don't know what they would be like to be honest, they have not got much knobbly bits at the side, so what sort of grip you would get under them conditions I do know, but would definitely recommend them over Road and light trails.Hope this helpsPaul

I use them on my CX bike for a winter trainer on tarmac, roads covered in flint and mud thanks to local farmers, cycle routes, down old train lines that include some muddy bits. OK they are never going to be mud pluggers but do a good enough job unless its a real bog. They are great on the tarmac compared to CX tyres and roll pretty well for a weighty belted tyre.

I can confirm that the tyre itself should offer decent levels of grip in conditions that are slightly wet or muddy, however we would advise caution if these conditions are a little excessive. We'd recommend going to a 42c tyre, unless you believe the frame space has enough clearance for a slightly wider tyre than the stock 45c's.

Answers

Answer:

Unfortunately we wouldn't advise this combination as the Aerotrack wheels are designed for use on a track bike with much narrower tyres. The Continental's may not seat on the bead properly, which could lead to the, blowing off the rim during use.

On my RIdgeback Hybrid the current Continental tyres are 37-622 (28x 1 3/8 x 1 5/8). The converter says this is 700-35c, but this isn't on the size list for this tyre. I'd like to buy Continental tyres again if possible, can I use the 700-32c? Or the 37c? Thanks
